MySPI Strategic Decision Brief
Decision Fit
88%
Measures how well a pathway aligns with your specific constraints—GPA, liquid capital, and long-term career intent.
Evidence Strength
0/100
A raw audit of the data quality backing the decision. We disclose the exact volume of verified institutional benchmarks used.
Decision Stability
50%
Stress-tests the path against external volatility. We model how policy changes or tuition hikes would flip the decision.
AEC Software Development (LaSalle College) why SAFE_EXECUTION path.
Certainty
+17.5pp admission advantage
Savings
CAD $44,500 capital saved
ROI Multiplier
1.65x higher (3.30x total)
01 — Why This Pathway?
| Metric | LaSalle College | Concordia (Baseline) | Implication |
|---|---|---|---|
| Admission Probability | 94% | 77% | LaSalle advantage |
| Estimated Total Cost | $14.5K | $59.0K | $44.5K savings |
| Projected ROI | 3.30x | 1.65x | 1.65x higher ROI |
| PR Viability | Moderate | Optimal | Comparable |
Strategic Rationale: Direct MSc admission friction remains high. Pivoting to AEC reduces risk while improving ROI and capital efficiency.
02 — Original Target Baseline
Concordia University
MSc in Computer Science
Current Friction
- • Lower admission probability (77%)
- • Higher tuition ($59K)
- • Reduced PR viability
Strategic Delta
03 — What Could Change?
Direct MSc admission probability
≥ 85%
Risk tolerance
≥ 80
Available capital
> CAD $60K
04 — Recommended Next Actions
Strengthen Candidate Evidence
Upload verified transcripts, technical project docs, employment evidence.
Required Gate
Evidence coverage ≥ high-confidence threshold
Why? Current coverage (0/100) introduces uncertainty.
Verify Concordia Eligibility
Confirm academic profile meets MSc prerequisites.
Required Gate
Eligibility verification completed
Why? Clarifies if direct MSc is viable.
Improve Direct Admission Position
Strengthen academic/technical signals.
Required Gate
Admission probability ≥ 85%
Why? Crossing this threshold favors Concordia.
Prepare LaSalle Application
Submit AEC Software Development application.
Required Gate
Application submitted
Why? Maintains momentum while reducing risk.
